Surface Pro 5 - Auto rotate won't work #1986

Using Surface Pro 5 2017 with Brunch. First taste of Chrome OS and thanks for this lovely work. Two issues, one of which is a problem - Auto-rotate does not work even after disconnecting all keyboards / mice (wireless too). The tablet mode shows up but when I rotate the device it stays in landscape mode.

You have to enable force_tablet_mode in the framework options.

Thanks. However, I don't have issue with the tablet mode, it works flawlessly when I remove the keyboard and mouse. Would force_tablet_mode solve the auto-rotate issue while not having any negative impact?

kolle86 commented 9 months ago

Yes. With that Option enabled you will have auto rotation working. I did not notice any negative impact.
